A Little Information About Windshield Repair Kit Options And Equipment

By Manuel O. Stradford


When cars were first becoming popular, drivers would wear glass goggles to protect their eyes as they drove. Then, the glass windshield was invented in 1904, and people have been using adapted and improved versions to shield them as they drive ever since. Occasionally, while they are doing this, they are damaged and the owners require a windshield repair business to repair them. If someone is looking to start a small business doing this type of work, a windshield repair kit can be a simple way to do so. Customers can choose from a large selection to find the ones that best suit their requirements.

Generally speaking, each category offered by a windshield repair kit company is made to repair a specific type of damage. For example, if the windshield gets a chip in it, a starter kit will usually do the trick, repairing as many as 100 windshields. The next category kit will repair the same amount of windshields, but more types of damage, including chips and cracks up to 18". From this point, every kit graduates to more extreme kinds of damage, and will fix up to around 500 repairs with cracks up to 36-inches each.

Each kit varies slightly, but generally offer the same general package with the items needed to repair a windshield, including tools, repair resins, and sometimes an instructional DVD. Tools like razor blades, crack expanders, an impact injector, mirror, injector needles, Dremel drill, a high impact cup, suction cup lubricant, resins, punches, drill bits, and a curing lamp are generally included in a starter windshield repair kit.

Since these are the basic tools required to do an easy job, so it would be a good idea to make sure that they are included in the kit you are thinking of buying. The more tools you have, the wider the array of repairs you can accomplish. One of the most frustrating things that can happen is getting in the middle of a repair job and realizing you don't have a tool you need, so make sure you avoid this by getting a kit that includes all the tools you need.

The instructional DVD included in these kits clarifies how to use these tools, step-by-step, so the user isn't left with a tool that they don't know how to use. Most companies also offer Windshield Repair training packages with their kits to teach a client to set up a book program, how to bill insurance companies, and answer other windshield repair kit related questions.
